Introduction to Floor Plan Editor

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Spaces extension.

Indoor Floor Plan Editor is a browser-based app for ArcGIS Enterprise that allows you to modify floor plan data of indoor spaces to reflect real world changes to your workplace.

You can import floor plan data to ArcGIS Pro and share a web map for Floor Plan Editor. After sharing a web map and creating the app, you can modify your floor plan data using editing tools and the object palette in the app, adding new objects such as doorways, walls, windows, and furniture. You can update existing units by editing walls, merging multiple units into one, or splitting one unit into multiple new units. You can also add new sites, facilities, levels, and units.

Some of the workflows where you can use the Floor Plan Editor app include:

  • Editing existing floor plans
  • Creating floor plans from a map template without existing floor plan data
  • Adding new sites, facilities, and levels to a floor plan
  • Drawing new units manually, by tracing over an image, or by specifying dimensions
  • Drawing new walls manually, by tracing over an image, or by specifying dimensions
  • Placing new windows, entryways, floor transition points and furniture using a custom object palette
  • Splitting or merging existing units
  • Copy and pasting objects in the floor plan
  • Merging changes between your open plan and the current plan
  • Specifying an offset while adding or editing objects in the floor plan

Floor Plan Editor app creation workflow

Before creating a Floor Plan Editor app, you must prepare a map in ArcGIS Pro and share it to your Enterprise organization.

Creating the Floor Plan Editor app requires the following high level steps:

  1. Review the system requirements.
  2. Configure your Enterprise organization.
  3. In ArcGIS Pro, create an Indoors workspace to conform with the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model, and optionally import floor plan data into it.
  4. In ArcGIS Pro, prepare a map for Floor Plan Editor to use in Enterprise.
    Note:

    You can use the IndoorsFloorPlanEditorMapTemplate map template provided in the installed product data to prepare a blank map for Floor Plan Editor with preconfigured symbology. You can set the source of the blank map's layers to your Indoors workspace and share it as a web map for use in Floor Plan Editor, with or without importing floor plan data to the Indoors workspace beforehand.

  5. Share the map to your Enterprise organization.
  6. Create the Floor Plan Editor app.
  7. Create and edit floor plans.
